    No. You won't lose emails. Only the Gmail interface is down.

    For some reason, Gmail is faster now. Did they do something during the downtime?

    I had no problem with Gmail personally. But then again, I just got on my computer about 2 hours ago.

    It's amazing how reliant I have become on Gmail. I was just pondering how awful it would be if it was gone for good and then it came back.

    Here is what Google (Gmail) have to say about the outage...

    "However, as we now know, we had slightly underestimated the load which some recent changes (ironically, some designed to improve service availability) placed on the request routers — servers which direct web queries to the appropriate Gmail server for response. At about 12:30 pm Pacific a few of the request routers became overloaded and in effect told the rest of the system "stop sending us traffic, we're too slow!". This transferred the load onto the remaining request routers, causing a few more of them to also become overloaded, and within minutes nearly all of the request routers were overloaded. As a result, people couldn't access Gmail via the web interface because their requests couldn't be routed to a Gmail server. IMAP/POP access and mail processing continued to work normally because these requests don't use the same routers."

    I hope, this won't happen again!

    So in other words, the machines took over. :)

    Anyone seen any Terminators recently?
